People walk paths. Religions are organizations with history. There is no such thing as a peaceful religion, but there can be peaceful Muslims, Christians, Pagans, etc.

What do you expect them to do? When a bully punches you, you have to stop that bully. Right? You can't just have him take you lunch bag away from you everyday. And, if there is no police around you, what will you do? You prob. would build an army to fight against him. Right?
Bro, this is what the police/teachers/religious leaders/courts are for.

Not to mention that justified violence is still violence.

There were law courts in the early centuries.

You can hit him back if you think that will solve things and you're prepared to accept the consequences but what you can't do is punch the bully then proclaim you're being peaceful because if you resort to violence you're clearly not being peaceful.

Wow, sexist as ****. Women like @Rival know precisely how "we boys" do things because women have been suffering from male violence for millennia.

Oh, what, do you think the non-Muslims were utter barbarians who couldn't do something as complex as make & codify laws?
But apart from in Muslim countries where women were and are always treated with the utmost respe...wait

Before Islam came to Arabia, some fathers would kill babies if they were girls. Muhammad put a stop to that practice.

Do you have better ideas?
We have plenty. ( Read Gandhi or MLK jnr for once or King Asoka etc.) Apparently the last and greatest prophet of God voicing the commands of God Himself does not. Apparently omnipotent God is unable to convince a rabble of desert tribal bands that He is God without conquering them forcibly with human armies.
Also obviously we should all believe the victor's account of the war regarding how bad those polytheists who lost were....

The religion of Gandhi is a bit of extreme don't you think?

Yeah, be honest with yourself and knock of the whole "Religion of Peace" claim.
A religion of peace is expected to be extreme, don't you agree?
Nor is Gandhi all that extreme. Take a look at the Jains.
No. I do not.

It doesn't seem to bring a lot of peace in the hearts of its followers.

Sorry. Even the New Testament is far from a peaceful book; and Jesus himself is noted many times in the NT giving credit to and lauding the rules/laws of the OT.

I don't see it as a Religion of Peace. A lot of terror attacks has happened because of the muslims.
